Abstract
    The Duplex alternative is one of three designs for a second tidal dock adjacent to the Deurganck dock. The Boomerang (NL Boemerang) and L-square (NL Winkelhaak) alternatives have previously been evaluated through real time simulations while the L-square dock was also part of a traffic real time simulation study with four Ultra Large Container Ships (ULCS) interacting in the same virtual environment. The Duplex alternative has been examined in 20 simulation runs executed during two days by four pilots of the Flemish and Dutch pilotage and assisted by a tug pilot of Boluda or Antwerp Towage. The accessibility of a 400 m and 430 m ULCS is guaranteed for wind forces restricted to a maximum of 6 Bft with maximum flood and ebb current. Head in mooring has mainly been considered but also some head out outbound manoeuvres have been realised. Tug configurations (with at least three 80 ton tugs for 6 Bft) are proposed to assist the ULCS in these manoeuvres. In future research the results of these individual manoeuvres will be used as a start for traffic simulations with four ULCS in one virtual environment interacting with each other.
